Indian-origin builder and head of a Gurudwara in Canada’s Edmonton, Boota Singh Gill, was shot multiple times and killed on Monday.

According to a report by the Indian Express, an altercation occurred at a construction site linked to Gill's business. An Indian-origin construction worker allegedly shot Gill and civil engineer Sarabjeet Singh before taking his own life. Investigation is underway into the cause of the altercation.

Singh is reportedly fighting for his life.

Gill had previously filed police complaints about receiving extortion calls and threats on 2-3 occasions, the Indian Express reported. There have also been reports of other builders in Edmonton receiving threats and incidents of newly constructed homes being set on fire.

Edmonton police in January said a criminal network in India was behind the series of extortions.
